Little did Anthony Cade suspect that an errand for a friend would place him at the center of a deadly conspiracy. Drawn into a web of intrigue, he begins to realize that the simple favor has placed him in serious danger.
"My favorite Agatha Christie novel"
Little did Anthony Cade suspect that a simple errand on behalf of a friend would make him the centrepiece of a murderous international conspiracy. Someone would stop at nothing to prevent the monarchy being restored in faraway Herzoslovakia. The combined forces of Scotland Yard and the French Surete can do no better than go in circles - until the final murder at Chimneys, the great country estate that yields up an amazing secret.
"Coincidence abound !"
Upon assuming the presidency in 1953, Dwight Eisenhower came to be seen by many as a doddering lightweight. Yet behind the bland smile and apparent simplemindedness was a brilliant, intellectual tactician. As Evan Thomas reveals in his provocative examination of Ike's White House years, Eisenhower was a master of calculated duplicity. As with his bridge and poker games he was eventually forced to stop playing, Ike could be patient and ruthless in the con, and generous and expedient in his partnerships.
"Ike bluffing way to peace"
Brr! Jaffa City is under a spell of ice and snow. Even Galen the Wizard is frozen solid. Eric, Julie, Neal, and Princess Keeah have to figure out a way to break Lord Sparr's curse, but they better hurry, because they might get frozen, too.
The story of David's "mighty men" (primarily found in 2 Samuel 23) drives this challenging and encouraging book for Christian men. The mighty men weren't drafted into David's army because of their impressive resumes. They were broken men who, given an opportunity to achieve greatness, responded like champions. The author uses the story to illustrate the six battles David's men fought and men today must win to become powerful and effective warriors in God's kingdom.
"First book I ever returned"
Since their last adventure, life in the Walker household is much improved. Dahlia Kristoff (aka the Wind Witch) has been banished. And now the Walkers are…rich! The kids are at a new school, Bay Academy Prep, surrounded by the children of bankers and CEOs. But this change in their fortune hasn't brought them happiness. Brendan is having a hard time making friends. Cordelia's worried that her adventures in Denver Kristoff's books have warped her mind - and even her body. And Eleanor just wants things to go back to how they used to be.
"Not as captivating as the first one."
For the very first time, The War That Never Was tells the fascinating story of a secret war fought by British mercenaries in the Yemen in the early 1960s. In a covert operation organised over whisky and sodas in the clubs of Chelsea and Mayfair, a group of former SAS officers.
Book two in the best-selling House of Secrets series. Get ready for another action-packed adventure! The Walker family's adventures continue as they battle to save their family - and the world - from a dark power. Hang on tight for another roller-coaster ride! The second book in the major new House of Secrets series. It's going to be epic.
This is a timely docudrama about The Washington Post's decision to publish the Pentagon Papers, a top secret study documenting U.S. involvement in Vietnam. The subsequent trial tested the parameters of the First Amendment, pitting the public's right to know against the government's desire for secrecy. This new 2008 tour edition features a new cast and a revised script.
"Behind the scenes."
This is the memoir of James C. Hormel - a man who grew up feeling different not only because his family owned the Hormel "empire" and lived in a 26 bedroom house in a small Midwest town, but because he was gay at a time when homosexuality was not discussed or accepted. Outwardly he tried to live up to the life his father wanted for him - he was a successful professional, had married a lovely woman, and had children - but as volatile changes in the late 1960s impeded on the American psyche, Hormel realized that he could not hide his true self forever.
"Fit to Serve against All Odds. A credit to all."

Last century, American professors accomplished a miracle. In a nation not known for its love of intellectuals, the American Association of University Professors declared, in 1915, that they were more than employees. Their relationship to trustees, who are legally responsible for governing universities, was akin to the relationship of Supreme Court justices to presidents. Trustees and administrators were to respect and defend the independence of professors, who, much as judges answered to the Constitution, answered to a socially sanctioned mission: the pursuit and dissemination of knowledge.
This unlikely view is now so widely accepted that even legislators retreat when "academic freedom" is invoked. As William G. Bowen and Eugene M. Tobin explain here, professors eventually used their unique standing to fight for (and sometimes win) a voice in nearly every aspect of higher education governance. But the problem, as Bowen and Tobin see it, is that faculty members govern poorly. Faculty meetings teach us that the monks of scholarship depicted by the AAUP are as vain and selfish as everyone else. They are as inclined as anyone to love an opinion because it is theirs, as prone to let disputes over office space color disputes over the curriculum, and as likely to believe that what enables them to live comfortably just happens to be best for everyone.
Small wonder that change rarely comes, as onetime president of the University of California Clark Kerr put it, "at the instigation of this group . . . as a collective body." Small wonder, too, that "the call for effectiveness in the use of resources [is] perceived by many inside the university world as the best current definition of evil." Bowen and Tobin go further: Clark Kerr gave considerable ground to faculty, whose resistance to change and insistence on deliberation and consensus yielded "a greater sense of order and stability." But Bowen and Tobin deny that "the most urgent need for today" is a greater sense of order and stability.
Rather, Bowen, president emeritus of Princeton, and Tobin, former president of Hamilton College, think that university administrators and faculty alike are fiddling while Rome burns. Their worries are familiar. Americans complete college at relatively low rates and take so long to do so that success is measured by completion in six years, rather than four. Costs remain staggeringly high, which means not only that students often graduate with significant debt but that universities will have to right themselves without spending more money. Viewing the landscape, Bowen and Tobin see mostly paralysis. A 2014 survey they draw on shows that although "many campus chief financial officers lack confidence in the sustainability of their colleges' business model," they also "seem loath to take cost-saving measures" because they fear "antagonizing key constituents, especially faculty."
When Bowen and Tobin, friends and knowers of higher education, worry about "the uncertainty one senses about higher education's resolve to reform from within," the heart sinks.
In two informative chapters, they give a brief history of the faculty role in academic governance, from the colonial era to today. The main takeaway is that this role has often changed to accommodate "market pressures," "financial realities," and "the changing needs of the society that higher education exists to serve." It is foolish to think that a "hundred-year-old system of governance practices" is right for today's troubles. A new governance system is needed for a world that is itself quite new.
Of the new things described in the remaining chapters, two stand out. First, we live in a "digital age," and technology, including online courses and even automated grading, can help lower costs without necessarily sacrificing educational quality. Unfortunately, faculty members, who think that how they teach should be up to them, obstruct the systemwide changes needed to take full advantage of new technologies. It is time, Bowen and Tobin assert, for faculty to "give up . . . any claim to sole authority over teaching methods of all kinds."

Late each summer, soon after excited new students arrive at four-year colleges across the country, deans try to sober them up. Some warn that successful students spend "three hours studying outside of class for each hour spent in class." For at least one moment, students get the impression that they must work hard—more than 40 hours per week—to succeed.
Cortney Munna must be one of America's most famous young debtors. A religious and women's studies graduate of New York University, she was working as a photography assistant when the New York Times discovered her. Munna was 26 and still $97,000 in debt for her bachelor of arts degree.
'That will never work," one cannot help thinking, as the late Earl Shorris retells the story of the first Clemente Course in the Humanities, or in "the study of human constructs and concerns," such as political philosophy, history, literature, art, and logic.

Man accused of molesting 4-year-old boy
Published: Friday, June 17, 2011 at 1:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 17, 2011 at 1:06 p.m.
OCALA - A man accused of molesting a 4-year-old boy was charged Thursday with capital sexual battery and lewd and lascivious exhibition.
During an interview at Kimberly's Cottage on Thursday, the boy told officials that Mark Anthony Stough had touched him inappropriately.
Detective Charles LeVay interviewed the 35-year-old man, who admitted touching the victim. Stough also told the detective about other encounters he had with the boy and said he knew his actions were wrong.
He was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail.

THON gets underway today
Updated: Friday, February 21 2014, 02:20 PM EST
By: Kerri Corrado and WJAC Web Staff
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The world's largest student-ran philanthropy is ready to get underway in Centre County Friday as hundreds prepare to dance for nearly two days straight and thousands descend upon Happy Valley to cheer them on.
THON 2014 kicks off at 6 p.m. Friday at the Bryce Jordan Center on Penn State University's University Park campus. Students will dance for 46 hours, raising money for the Four Diamonds Fund that supports pediatric cancer research at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital.
The annual event is the culmination of year-long fundraising efforts, as students work to add to the millions of dollars raised through the years. About 96 percent of funds raised through THON are donated directly to Four Diamonds Fund programs.
Organizers have spent weeks getting ready, but have really been focusing this past week as they prepare for the dancing and the crowds. THON officials partnered with Centre County emergency management officials to prepare for a worst-case scenario that would require an evacuation of the BJC.
"They have a lot more people coming to their event and they're responsible for their safety," said Centre County Emergency Director Shawn Kauffman.
Organizers will also be using wristbands to track those who are inside the venue during the event. There is no limit to how long a spectator can be inside the seating area of BJC during the event, but there is a time limit for those who wish to be on the floor. Each time a person enters, a new wristband is required.
"We recognized gaps in terms of communication, making sure that we knew where to go and where to evacuate to," said THON public relations spokesperson Dana Giacobello.
Lines to get into the building are expected to be long throughout the weekend, officials said.
The total amount of money raised this year will be revealed at approximately 4 p.m. Sunday. Last year, more than $12.3 million was raised for the Four Diamonds Fund.
6 News will have coverage of THON activates throughout the weekend.

Hunters have lots of friends. A trusted, well used gun is one. A favorite hound, if he has one, is another. And a solidly built pickup with four-wheel drive is yet another.
But there's one friend that turns up only occasionally, though when it does can produce more game than any other. That's snow, a nice, soft several-inch fall during the day or evening with plans to hunt the next morning. Snow is a friend indeed.
The upcoming statewide muzzleloader season, which will run Dec. 27 through Dec. 30, is a prime example if that snowfall comes on the 26th or even Christmas day. And if it does, I can almost guarantee that the kill around Huron County will increase dramatically because the whitetails will be hard pressed to get away. Take a walk through woods and fields and look for fresh tracks. When you find one that's good sized, just stay on the trail until you find the animal. If it goes into thick brush and no tracks come out, he or she is sure to be there. No guessing.
And if you can hunt with a partner and place him off to one side looking in all directions while you track, or put him at the end of that thicket while you bull through, the odds of eating venison are great. Hitting a deer hard when no snow is down can make tracking very difficult, especially if the wound closes up. But on snow, you can stay with the animal and get a second shot. And if your luck isn't good during the primitive weapons season, remember the archery season lasts until Feb. 3 and there's sure to be a good snow or two in that time.
I remember a late-season hunt when two partners and I went out on fresh snow and picked up the tracks of three does. We were wearing white outfits (mine was a karate suit) and white hats, and while one tracked the other two spread out on either side. We jumped them in a thicket and off they bounced, snorting, waving tails, and looking over their shoulders. Then we jumped them again and they ran, but the third time they milled around looking puzzled until one of my partners was in range. He got one with a ribcage shot.
I've mentioned before the business of hunting ringneck pheasants on some public hunting areas, left over birds that escaped hunters on Thanksgiving day releases. You can walk forever on clean ground hoping to jump one of these now wary birds, but on snow their splay footed prints show up readily. Herd the bird toward open ground and be ready for a long shot, and you might well pick up one of the gaudy creatures or even two.
Then there are rabbits, animals that move at night and leave lots of tracks. Hunt them after a snow fall an you'll waste no time at all. See a brushpile with no tracks going in? Ignore it. Find one with tracks in, but not out? Jump on it and be ready to shoot. I remember once walking around a farm pond with thick cattails along the shore. I walked briskly because there were no prints, then along the end they were thick and I kicked the yellow plants. The rabbit that squirted out only made 20 yards.
Rabbit hunting on snow can be an education for when no snow is available, too. On one hunt I saw a little swale of curled over grass 30 yards out into a bare picked soybean field. I'd have ignored such a place usually, but this time cottontail tracks led directly toward it. The rabbit that jumped out never had a chance.
Finally, comes coyote and fox hunting. Without snow and at least dogs, it's almost impossible, but on a fresh fallen blanket it's easy. Again, pick up a fresh set of tracks and just start walking, again hopefully with a white outfit and a flat shooting rifle. If a friend comes along, put him off to one side and looking around, but either way the curious animal is going to stop eventually, and turn to see what's following him. Then, if you're accurate, the walk pays off.

Ohio hunters took 103,195 white-tailed deer during the state's week-long deer gun season. In 2006, hunters killed a total of 111,672 deer during the same period. Inclement weather on the opening and closing days of the week hampered hunter efforts. Counties reporting the highest number of deer brought to Ohio check stations included Tuscarawas 4,266, Guernsey 3,765, and Harrison 3,389. In our area, Huron County gunners bagged 1,133, Richland 1,288, Seneca 963, Erie 303, and Lorain 835.
Duck and goose hunters looking for something different might find it in Williamson County in southern Illinois. The county calls itself "The Waterfowl Capital of Southern Illinois," and offers a dozen hunting and gun clubs who will provide guides and often accommodations as well as field and water hunting.

absolutely loved this fictionalized biography of Australian folk hero Ned Kelly. This is a Booker Winner that is definitely worthy of the prize.
Ned Kelly was an outlaw, viewed by the police and some citizens as a hardened criminal, a heartless monster. To many however, he was a persecuted Irishman who was forced into some of the actions he took. His story is written in the first person, in prose that on the one hand is semi-literate and on the other hand poetic. It begins:
"I lost my own father at 12 yr. of age and know what it is to be raised on lies and silences my dear daughter you are presently too young to understand a word I write but this history is for you and will contain no single lie may I burn in Hell if I speak false."
The true Ned Kelly left behind an "justification" in his own words, "the Jerilderie Letter" which was discovered in the 1930's. This letter is an interesting read in and of itself, and as confirmation as to how well Carey captured Ned Kelly's voice.
This one had been sitting on my shelves long enough that I thought it was high time to read it, but it didn't really work for me.
This book is a very impressive attempt to get inside the head of Australia's most famous outlaw Ned Kelly. Full of humour, period detail and with a lively and fast moving narrative, the book is also very strong on social history, concentrating on the injustices suffered by the Irish poor in 19th century Victoria.
In an interview with the Guardian newspaper in 2001, Peter Carey stated that the idea for writing a history of Ned Kelly started when he read the so-called Jerilderie Letter in a museum in the 1960s. This 8,000 word, 56-page letter was dictated to fellow gang member Joe Byrne by Ned following the robbery of the Jerilderie bank in 1879. In it Ned explains why he has been driven to lead a life as a bushranger following persecution of his family by a corrupt police force and victimisation of poor Irish families by the wealthy English squatters.In the letter, Ned gives his version of events and gives his account of the killing of three police officers at Stringybark Creek in 1978 saying "... this cannot be called wilful murder for I was compelled to shoot them, or lie down and let them shoot me". Carey describes the letter as uneducated but intelligent, humorous but also angry and says that "His language came in a great, furious rush that could not but remind you of far more literary Irish writers."
In this novel, Carey has recreated Ned's voice as he heard it in the letter and used it to tell the story of the Kelly Gang. The novel is written in the first person using a stream of rich, almost poetic Irish-Australian vernacular from the 1880s. The cast of characters including his mother Ellen, brother Dan and sister Kate, his best friend Joe Byrne,opium-eater Aaron,and the cross-dressing Steve Hart are all colorfully described so that we have a sympathy and understanding of their natures. Wonderfully re-imagined, the novel is as much a comment on the politics of the time and the struggle between the families of poor convicts eking out a living and the wealthier settlers as it is the story of a bushranger.
Great book.
One of my favorite 'little known historical' books.
Carey is a good author - I'll read more of his books.
Wow - had not one clue about some of the facts I learned about the Kelly boys.
Having spent some time in Australia made this exceptionally interesting. Certainly puts a face and explanation behind the Aussie Song -"Blame it on the Kellys"
Read in 2006.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375724672, Paperback)"What is it about we Australians, eh?" demands a schoolteacher near the end of Peter Carey's True History of the Kelly Gang. "Do we not have a Jefferson? A Disraeli? Might not we find someone better to admire than a horse-thief and a murderer?" It's the author's sole nod to the contradictory feelings Ned Kelly continues to evoke today, more than a century after his death. A psychopathic killer to some, a crusading folk hero to others, Kelly was a sharpshooting outlaw who eluded a brutal police manhunt for nearly two years. For better or worse, he's now a part of the Australian national myth. Indeed, the opening ceremonies for the Sydney Olympics featured an army of Ned Kellys dancing about to Irish music, which puts him in the symbolic company of both kangaroos and Olivia Newton-John.
What's to be gained from telling this illiterate bushranger's story yet again? Quite a lot, as it turns out. For starters, there is the remarkable vernacular poetry of Carey's narrative voice. Fierce, funny, ungrammatical, steeped in Irish legends and the frontier's moral code, this voice is the novel's great achievement--and perhaps the greatest in Carey's distinguished career. It paints a vivid picture of an Australia where English landowners skim off the country's best territory while government land grants allow the settlers just enough acreage to starve. Cheated, lied to, and persecuted by the authorities at every opportunity, young Kelly retains no faith in his colonial masters. What he does trust, oddly, is the power of words:
And here is the thing about them men they was Australians they knew full well the terror of the unyielding law the historic memory of UNFAIRNESS were in their blood and a man might be a bank clerk or an overseer he might never have been lagged for nothing but still he knew in his heart what it were to be forced to wear the white hood in prison he knew what it were to be lashed for looking a warder in the eye ... so the knowledge of unfairness were deep in his bone and in his marrow.Ned Kelly as literary hero? Strangely enough, that's what he becomes, at least in Carey's rendering. Pouring his heart out in a series of letters to the country at large, Kelly wants nothing more than to be heard--and for the dirt-poor son of an Irish convict, that's an audacious ambition indeed. It's not so surprising, then, that his story continues to speak to Australians. Like all colonial countries, Australia was built at a steep human price, and the memory of all those silenced voices lives on. True History of the Kelly Gang takes its epigraph from Faulkner: "The past is not dead. It is not even past." And like Faulkner's own vast chronicle of dispossession, it's haunted by tragedies as large as history itself. --Mary Park

Ned Kelly, the legendary nineteenth-century Australian folk-hero, describes how he, his brother, and two friends led authorities on a twenty-month manhunt, marked by widespread populist support, before his capture and execution.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said he doesn't think we will hear the U.S. National Security Agency asking for a back door into our iPhones, at least not any more. In an interview on NPR's All Things Considered on Thursday, Mr. Cook implied that even the FBI is coming around on the need for end-user encryption.
OS X Security is a Lot Better Than You Thought
Just about every week we see articles rolled out about how a security researcher has found a scary security flaw in OS X. It makes for great headlines, but how are the every day Mac users actually affected by these headlines, and how should they react? John Martellaro offers a calming counter perspective.
Amazon Jumps the Shark and Kicks Apple TV and Google Chromecast off Store
This just in: Amazon thinks it's a platform. According to Bloomberg, Amazon has ordered Apple TV and Google Chromecast devices out of its stores because they aren't compatible with Amazon's own Prime television subscription content.
Dr. Mac's First Look at the iPhone 6s
Dr. Mac got an iPhone 6s last Friday; his initial impressions are in Dr. Mac's Rants & Raves Episode 143, a delightful little ditty he likes to call, "Dr. Mac's First Look at the iPhone 6s." It wasn't all wine and roses (Spoiler alert: He thinks the Rose Gold looks too pink). But after a rocky start, the Doc is pretty happy with his newest gadget.
What Shall Apple Do with All That Money? Rethink the Car
When a modern company has some extra money, creative executives have refined the art of rolling that money upwards towards themselves often starving other efforts. Even so, while car company R&D budgets are generally healthy, they may not be enough to make a major breakthrough in 21st century car technology. What if that's what Apple is planning to do?
Apple Will be Forced to Change Streaming Music In-App Purchase Policy
Apple is going to change its in-app purchase policy for streaming music services, either voluntarily or by force. That's my prediction, and when it happens, it will be a good change for the company. Here's why.
This Is How You Know It's Time for Apple Car
Hey look, it's another auto executive explaining to the world how absurd it is for Apple to make a car. It's hard, he said. It will be a money pit, he said. Apple doesn't know anything about cars, he said. And most of all, he said that the auto industry is a low margin business, making it a terrible market to enter. This is how you know it's time for Apple Car.
So, What About Apple TV and iPad Pro?
Last week Dr. Mac had so much to say about the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus and how cool he thought 3D Touch was going to be that he ran out of space without mentioning Apple TV or iPad Pro. He rectifies that in this week's Dr. Mac's Rants & Raves.
A Theory: Why the New Apple TV Will Ship Without 4K UHD
We now know that the new 4th generation Apple TV announced for this fall won't ship with 4K UHD capability. But we don't know why Apple omitted that feature and thereby opened itself up to opportunistic competition, such as Amazon's Fire TV. John Martellaro has a theory.
Dr. Mac says: 'The Coolest Thing Apple Announced Last Week Was…'
It was a big event, but one thing stood out to Dr. Mac as the coolest. Read Dr. Mac's Rants & Raves #141 if you wanna know what it is...

AbstractFollowing a very successful Phase I program, INTUITIVE proposes to continue the development of the standalone, Laser Ordnance Safe-Arm Distributor (LOSAD) to be used as a combination safe-arm device and laser energy distributor in this Phase II effort. LOSAD addresses the current need for a laser firing system safe-arm in existing and future MDA programs. The LOSAD utilizes INTUITIVE's basic 'optical block' Ignition Safety Device (ISD) jointly developed with MOOG for THAAD's laser ordnance system. INTUITIVE will further develop the LOSAD during Phase II to minimize internal switching losses and build/demonstrate working prototypes of single channel and multiple channel devices. LOSAD's distributor function eliminates the need for duplicate laser firing units for initiating multiple devices. In addition, a higher-level of safety is inherent by use of the optical interrupt in the initiation train (as required by MIL-STD-1901A). The LOSAD will result in a significant improvement in overall safety for multiple device initiation with a desirable reduction in laser diodes and related firing hardware complexities and costs. No such device currently exits in inventory. Not only will LOSAD immediately serve as a back-up for the current THAAD ISD development program, but other DoD programs; NASA/Commercial Space systems; and the commercial demolition, mining, and explosives ordnance industries are prime potential customers. Bottom line: improved safety, reduced complexity, and reduced costs.

Individual health spend a feature of rising costs
- Details
- Written by Staff
Despite being delivered in dull bureaucratic speak - the media release was headlined, "Continued slow growth in health spending" - the latest report on health costs by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) contains valuable information.
One key finding is that individual spending is the stand-out area of non-government sector expenditure.
The AIHW is a major national agency set up by the Australian Government to provide reliable, regular and relevant information and statistics on Australia's health and welfare.

Competence or compliance? The corrosive cost of professional practitioner appraisals
- Details
- Written by Dr David Zigmond
David Zigmond is a London based GP, psychiatrist and psychotherapist. He has written extensively on the corrosive effects of the industrialisation of healthcare. He blogs regularly on his website and BMJ Blogs. His book, "If you want good personal healthcare - see a Vet" is available online.
This article first appeared in BMJ Blogs.
Current appraisal systems sacrifice more of value than they can assure. Clarifying why and how this happens gives us wider insights into our ill faring welfare systems.
"The more laws, the less justice"
German Proverb
Some healthcare management axioms seem incontestable: all our healthcarers should have a good standard of human and technical competence; these should then be held within a firm frame of moral probity. Therefore we need systems for professional appraisals, then validation.
Such is the easy rhetoric, but the meaningful implementation is proving much trickier. Generally, only those who administer the current appraisal system talk with conviction about its relevance or validity: the captive practitioners talk instead of obstructive rituals of submission, of unwisely prescriptive authority, and of a growing culture of forensic mistrust, even pre-emption.
This is not what was intended. What has happened and why? This decade spanning portrait may clarify.

Networking Health NSW Folds
- Details
- Written by David Guest
Networking Health NSW will cease operations tomorrow, 1 October 2015.
The organisation under its former rubric, General Practice NSW, had provided State based support for NSW Divisions of General Practice since the inception of Divisions in the early 90s. Under the Labor government's Medical Locals, support organisations at both the State and Federal level were abolished. GP NSW had thus been operating on its accumulated funds, members fees and specific project funding since June 2011. The decision to defund State Based Organisations (SBOs) was not reversed by the Abbott coalition government following its election victory in September 2013.

Nevada Online Poker in 7-10 Months, Regulator Says
Internet Gaming Security Main Topic at Industry Meeting in Las Vegas
Americans could see the first U.S.-based licensed and regulated real-money poker site this holiday season.
At Monday's Gaming Policy Committee meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada Gaming Control Board Chairman Mark Lipparelli said that the Silver State will likely issue its first licenses in 30-60 days — and it will probably take another six to eight months after that before games are running.
At the last meeting, Lipparelli suggested a slightly earlier date for licenses. The majority of time will be devoted to regulators approving the technology of licensed sites. This spring, the state finalized rules for the private testing of software.
Despite efforts from a handful of other states, Nevada remains the only jurisdiction in the country where online poker is legislatively authorized.
The convergence of gaming insiders on Monday centered on the issue of security in the online realm. Bwin.party Digital Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan gave an extensive presentation in front of the 11-member panel headed by Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval.
In his speech, Ryan highlighted the success of his company's efforts to mitigate concerns of fraud, player collusion and underage gambling in Europe. He said that out of one million unique users per month, there are 10 cases of underage players making it through their layers of security.
The Silver State is still trying to figure out how to create synergy between policy makers and businesses on the issue of identity verification.
When Gaming Commission Chairman Peter Bernard asked Ryan about the possibility of a uniform system to regulate player registration issues, the CEO said that the industry prefers having "flexibility."
Bernard referred to it as poker sites "policing" themselves.
However, both Ryan and MGM Resorts CEO Jim Murren — whose company has a partnership with Bwin.party to eventually run games — admitted that they'd like a "centralized list" of individuals who, for whatever reason, shouldn't be eligible to play online. The list would included "fraudsters" and those who have self-excluded, for example.
In response to Gov. Sandoval's concern about residents of neighboring states logging into Nevada's intrastate system, Ryan said that current geo-location technology is 99.8 percent accurate.
At one point during his presentation, Gov. Sandoval lightheartedly asked Ryan to slow down for benefit of the recorder. Ryan responded: "I'm just excited to be here."
After leaving the U.S. market in the wake of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, the publicly-traded company looks to be a huge player in its return — regardless of whether it's under a state-by-state patchwork or a federal regime. Bwin.party recently struck a deal with a California tribe in anticipation of a bill in the Golden State.
Despite Nevada's progress, Lipparelli said Monday that he still prefers a federal law.
The purpose of the resurrected Gaming Policy Committee is to make recommendations for the next legislative session. Murren said he'd like to see tweaks to the state's online poker bill — which include increasing license terms and possibly reducing the fees.

Hello there, I have had 6 miscarriages all before 6 weeks ((never saw a baby or a hb)). I had 2 in 2008, 1 in 2009, 1 in 2010 and 2 in 2012. My two in 2012 were in July, and September and got pregnant with this one in November. No break I know, we thought we were being careful but apperantly not. The doctor has put all my miscarriages to "bad luck" so this time I put things into my own hand and tried pio injections. Well looks like they worked. I went into an ultrasound at 9w 2d ((measuring right on time and looked perfect)) and saw a beautiful hb of 188 bpm it was so beautiful. I am now 9w 5d. Well I really hope this is my sticky bean. By the way what are the chances of miscarriage now? I am due on August 13, 2013.
New here after 6 miscarriages.
After 6 miscarriages due with Ethan Jesus on August 11, 2013
Good luck! Sending sticky dust your way!
I'm not sure about your chances of a miscarriage now. I know they say the chances go down once you see a heartbeat and then after 12 weeks. But I could totally be wrong about all of that. I've never dealt with one before and I am so very sorry for all of your losses.

Re: "Let Me In" - Discussion & Grading
I loved the original, but I am very curious about the remake, so I plan to check this out this weekend. I've heard some glowing reviews. My take on the slavish faithfulness of the original: Imagine it like you're seeing the original for a second time but with new actors and some new components. That's the way I choose to see it. I loved the original so much that I have no problem seeing a remake, so long as that it is good.
